Until the manufacturers can put some kind of internal pressure on some of their dealerships ... price gouging will never stop. When the dealers have a "HOT" new item in limited supply it is their way to make up for some bad times and make some fast dollars.
One local dealer here in WNY had wanted $20 Grand over sticker for their very first SSR and then later dropped it to a mere $10 Grand over and sold it. It certainly leaves a very bad taste in most of the customers eyes. I have heard GM reps state that there is very little they can do to stop dealers from price gouging. MSRP is what most manufacturers recommend to their dealers who get their new Hottest selling products. But all the dealer knows is when there is a very tight market for their new products they will find willing customers to buy them.
